Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because this would be a clinical decision for Doctors and not one for the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling for changes to the Mental Health Act if that is something you would like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
